I'm off blood pressure meds, and have increased my HDL!
« on: September 12, 2011, 01:02:47 PM »
Had my second 3-month checkup after my phyical in March.  This time my blood pressure was pretty low while on meds (90/62).  The doctor told me to stop the BP meds and now I'm 114/74 with a 78 resting pulse rate!  ;D

I've also nearly doubled my HDL (good cholesterol) to 40 now officially putting me in the normal range for HDL!  ;D

This is all due to activity so again, if I can do this, anyone can.

Not getting to go just found out my insurance will only cover a small part of the lab work & I have to pay the full doctor bill . >:( We have insurance but not very good insurance so I will have to wait awhile .

 Dont you just feel great Guy since you started FTS ?

People often ask me about how a high protein eating plan effects HDL cholesterol (the good one) It's so hard for people to believe that eating the way we do not only makes you lose weight but also decreases your bad CL and increases your good CL. This is due to such a huge drop in Triglycerides (blood fat) which occurs from eating the FAT TO SKINNY plan. Their are so many success stories of people's blood getting skinny along with their waist lines :)

Congrats Guy!  8)
